The flavors of butter, lemon, fresh rosemary and garlic come together into something spectacular in this pasta dish! I have the biggest rosemary bush growing right now and always try to cook with it when I can.
My mama gave the the rosemary bush in a huge pot that sits beside my side porch. Hmmmm… what ELSE can I do with rosemary?! I love it! I ate this with some awesome pork tenderloin that I grilled today for another post (recipe coming very soon!). But I could also eat this as a meal on its own for sure!
The kitchen still has the aromatics of rosemary, lemon and garlic and smells sooooo good!
This is certainly a quick and easy dish if you’re pushed for time. If you love rosemary, lemon, garlic and buttery pasta as much as I do, this recipe is sure to be a winner. Enjoy!
